In the <HEAD>
section there
are, for example,
the META labels,
which normally contain
translatable text.
|
A label of special
importance is "language".
It is used to indicate
the natural language
of the document. E.g.:
 |
 |
<meta
name="language"
content="Catalan,Spanish,English">
or
<META
NAME="Content-language"
CONTENT="ca,es,en"> |
|
|
|
Search engines which
can index webs on
the basis of the language
of the contents read
this label to determine
in which language
or languages the contents
of the web are offered.
The use of the "language"
label is recommended
when the web is not
in English or when
it is multilingual.
However, it must be
taken into account
that there are some
search engines which
do not need this label,
but determine the
web language from
the texts it contains.
